In forming the part b of the collar 1 provide aplurality of thicknesses or layers of material, and in the form ofconstruction shown these thicknesses or layers of material are four innumber and consist of an inner thickness or layer b two intermediatethicknesses or layers 1) and b and an outer thickness or layer 19 Thetwo inner thicknesses or layers b and b may be composed of any desiredmaterial, while the outer layer b is composed of linen in the and usualmanner, and the thickness or layer b adjacent to the outer thickness orlayer b may be composed of any suitable material and is provided on itsouter side with raised and ornamental figures c of any desired shape orconfiguration, and said figures are formed on the thickness or layer bby the ordinary process of embroidery or may be embroidered separatelyon any suitable material and then cut out and secured to the thicknessor layer 1), orsaid thickness or layer 11 may consist of lace having thefigure 0 formed thereon in the usual or by any desired process, theobject being toprovide a collar or other article of apparel which whenlaundered and ready figures and being given the usual smooth surfacebetween said figures, while the figures themselves project or showdistinctly in outline in the same manner as though they were sewed on'or formed on the. outer surface.

My invention is not limited to the number of thicknesses of which thecollar or other article of apparel is made, and it will be apparent thattwo or more of such thicknesses may be employed, and if but twothicknesses are employed the inner thickness or that over which theouter thickness or layer b is placed would necessarily be made of thickor heavy material, so as to give the collar or other article of apparelproper form and stifiness when laundered, and in this event theornamental figures would have been formed thereon or secured thereto.

Although I have only shown my invention applied to a collar, it will beapparent that the same may be applied in the manufacture of cuffs,shirt-bosorns, and various other articles of apparel.
